A couple of weekends ago we took apart a ST45 carb.  Seems to me(<-that
was 
a disclosure about accuracy), the spray bar was at 4 or 5 o;clock when 
viewing it from the needle end.  It looked to be pointing right down the 
throat of the engine.  I have one I could go take apart and look at if ya 
want? Use an OS #8
